I think there are three varieties of crypt... the tall ones in the middle are Pechi the ones on the far right Wenditi and at the front Hobbit Sorry about the spellings

Better shot

I'm fairly new to the hobby and have been struggling with algae for a while now, no amount of water changing, co2 increase or light reduction has had any effect on the amount of algae what so ever, so I wanted to share my method for getting rid of bba and gba algae. From what I can gather...

Sorry for the late response... I think that diffuser is for external filters... I think the co2 would have more exposure to the water the way I have it. I'm very much a beginner and not sure how good the co2 distribution actually is. I'm having a couple of issues. Can't seem to shake the alge

Many thanks

Week 6 now I think, added some ludwigia Rubens and moved a few things around. The Rotala is turning pink as it reaches the surface but it's ever so pale and is only on the under side of the leaves, it is a tropica Rotala and have read posts describing them as being difficult to turn red, I...

4 Weeks in now, the ammonia has finally dropped to zero so added a few fish, there's a dozen Galaxy Rasbora and 5 Otto's. The bottom of the tank was covered in patches of diatoms but the Otto's have taken care of that almost over night. I've also taken delivery of a Chihros RBG from Hinterfield...

Can't wait so see this take shape

Two week up date.. The Rotala (centre) is really taking off and looks nice and healthy. The Hottona is also filling out nicely though the single light is obviously affecting its growth. S. Repens is looking well, slowly filling out and sending out plenty of new roots. Basically the only thing...

Thanks... I think I'll go for something more mainstream/ tried and tested

Yes they have cropped up on my radar.. seem v good value and look nice to. Worth going for the rbg or just the standard white? I saw somewhere the white had hight par readings..

So this is the light that was supposed to come with my nano tank, finally arrived this week. Its still at the shop, and they said i dont have to take it as they cant tell me anything other than the wattage . (not paid for it) Is the above information useful? And can it be translated in to...

Thanks will do

Thanks for this.. Just cleared what ever was coating the surface with the skimmer, so I'm guessing if it comes back then it's the bad scum as a result of what you have mentioned previously. Re the flow.. As it stands today with the spray bar, flow is genlte but fairly evenly distributed...

Ah... I thought it was dust that came off the aqua soil, it's kind of the same colour.. I think I'll try reducing the light then, I'm fairly sure the co2 is on the high side of why it should be (according to the drop checker anyway)

Hi Just a hello as new to the forum and thought i’d share my new set up. So.. Got an old pine side board off eBay and shabby chicced it with all kinds of Laura Ashley vibes, reinforced it with 3x2” timber on the inside. The tank is an Aquaone nano60 100litre water capacity. The light is a diy...

Good idea

Tnc complete i think and yes the light is v bright.. will see what it’s like with water, but i can raise the whole thing or the there is room to lift the light within the lampshade. Was worried 10w/800 lumen wouldnt be enough lol.

Hi Just a hello as new to the forum and thought i’d share my new set up. Quite new to the hobby, had fish in the past but a lot seems to have changed since then. And after seeing loads of amazing scapes on Instagram i thought i’d have a go my self. So.. Got an old pine side board off eBay...
